Prithvi And Chetna Now

April 3, the fourth stage: Mergozzo - Simplon (CH)

h.16.55. latest update in a few minutes ago. take this opportunity to update you in real time ...

route: 70km
time: 6h
Starting altitude: 204m altitude
arrival:
1472m altitude: 1268m

the brave heroes have given their best today, taking the slope of the Simplon and reaching just beyond of the border, more than half of the path to the pass (2005m asl). are now in Switzerland, the hot, hotel, enjoying a well earned rest - apparently out there are stalactites and snow (!) - but most are just 600m uphill from the highest point, which should svalicare tomorrow. thus overcoming the hardest part of the trip and their CIMA Cup!

(if you are not cycling, the top tiles, in the Tour of Italy, is the highest point of the path)

the climb was cold, long and devastating (and I quote).
the implacable lollo, legs still rested and - well known - calling for the labors long and protracted, he pulled all the way up. valuable and important follower of our sample (which - you know - no soldiers would be no sample sample ...).

to remedy the inconvenience of the two rays of broken rick look forward to the intervention of a mechanic!

good Easter friends. (I wonder if the Swiss are a bit 'of a dove? Rifaranno so bah ... you ... no chocolate?).

the next update!
